Sialite

Sialite was developed by observing nature. The theoretical basis for Sialite technology began by studying silica-alumina based pozzolanic materials and simulating their natural formation. Man mimics these natural processes when creating many forms of industrial waste that, as a result of intense heating and dehydration, take on pozzolana-like properties. Sialite technology unleashes the energy “trapped” in high temperature treated waste to make a new type of cementitious material. While rock formations often require millions of years to complete and various thermodynamic processes such as cooling, pressure, and heat as catalysts, SAM researchers have discovered a way to accelerate the reaction rate to create Sialite.
